According to a statement released by Mark Templin, Lexus Vice President and General Manager, “An update for the 2010 GX 460 vehicle stability control system is now available at Lexus dealers nationwide. Our dealers began contacting customers yesterday offering to make arrangements to perform the update, and we expect them to get in touch with most GX owners within one week.”
The new update applied to the car will allow the vehicle stability control (VSC) system to apply more pressure to the brakes when a slide is detected, and Lexus has now put the GX460 back on sale after a suspension of two weeks.
Lexus has stopped sales of the GX460 and recalled all cars after American magazine Consumer Reports discovered that an evasive manoeuvre would cause the rear end to “slid out until the vehicle was almost sideways before the electronic stability control system was able to regain control.” They stated “in real-world driving, that situation could lead to a rollover accident, which could cause serious injury or death.”
